Neck Pain

The neck plays a critical role in human physiology. Not only does it support the head, allowing for movement in almost any direction, it also contains nerves, muscles, bones, soft tissue, and carries blood and oxygen to the brain. While it is resilient, it can be subject to pain from illness or injury. When neck pain occurs, it is important you see our neck pain chiropractor, Dr. Robert W. Kirby, at ChiroWorks Pain & Injury Treatment Center in Lexington, KY.

Different Types of Neck Pain Treated by our Neck Pain Chiropractor

There are three general types of neck pain, all of which can be addressed by our neck pain chiropractor at ChiroWorks.

Axial – This is soft tissue neck pain that is musculoskeletal in nature. Neck strains, like whiplash, are an example of axial neck pain.

Radiculopathy – This is neck pain that is caused when the roots of nerves become compressed. Symptoms can include neck and arm pain or numbness.

Myelopathy – This is neck pain resulting from pressure on the spinal chord. Along with neck pain, symptoms can include weakness in the arms and legs and difficulty walking.

Headaches and neck pain often occur simultaneously. It is important you seek neck pain treatment from our neck pain doctor in Lexington, KY at ChiroWorks when experiencing neck pain.

Common Causes of Neck Pain

Neck pain can be caused by aging, trauma, illness, and even lifestyle. Degeneration associated with aging is a common cause of neck pain as soft, cushioning, tissue becomes more compressed or worn. Neck pain from trauma includes that associated with whiplash, sports injuries or a slip and fall. Illnesses like arthritis and cancer can also be the cause of neck pain. Many fail to recognize the impact lifestyle can have in causing neck pain. Poor posture, weight gain, and overuse of electronic devices can all contribute to neck pain.
